NJ FERRY's ATTEMPTED KILLING.

John Most Thinks II Wonderful News.
WAsHINGTON, December i2.-When
the news that NJ Ferry had been shot
reached the Freilet office, c0mpositors,
editors. and the grand mognl himself
Herr Johann Most, dropped their work
and stared at one another IN blank
amalement Then they turned to the
reporter and asked for details he gave
them; whereupon Herr Most said Well,
this is wonderful news | don't know
what to think of il NJ Ferry was Ger
tainly not liked by the Communists, but
don't think they would take the trouble
to murder him. OF course If this is the
work of a secret society no further ex-
planation is necessary. Personally, do
not care to discuss the subject until !
know exactly how the affair was planned,
and who were concerned in ii.
From another source the reporter
learned that a man named Aubertin has
been working for some time on the
revolutionary journals OF Paris. The
general opinion is that he is member OF
cosmopolitan revolutionary secret so
ciety, the main object Of which Is to re
move" all potentates who have made
themselves obnoxious to the people.

TnE ANNUAL CHARITY BALL.

\ brilliant Gathering At HelNidere Hall.
The annual Charity Bali which took
place last evening at Mr. Sylyanus
Stokes splendid new Bclyidere Hall on
Main and Belyiderc streets, was as usual
a brillant social event The hall is itself
handsomely decorated, and Of itself
would have presented a splendid appear
ance But when the beauty of the beau
tiful Richmond ladies came into contrast
with the omamentations, the latter paled
into insignihcance, for there could not
be presented in any city in this country a
more imposing ray of loyeliness
The names Of the lady managers
headed by Mrs Fizhugh Lee, as pub
lished in the TINES some days ago, were
a guarantee that this ball would be in no
way behind any Of its predecessors, and
the result proved this to be correct. We

here that no more delightful social occa-

A PARTING.
By SUSANNA j.

Published by request.1
Goodbye forever, my darling,
Dear to me even now.
And release YOU from your VOW
have learned that the love sought for
Had been given away before,
And know that love in your nature
Is "iOve for evermOre."
Yet wish you had not answered
In words so tender and fair,
For could have borne it better.
Though it had been hard to bear,
If YOU had but told me truly
That your heart was given for aye,
| should not have known the sorrow,
That brushes my soul to-day.
Yet why should weakly blame you
For the thoughts in my bosom hid?
Twas my own fond heart that led me
To love you as did,
And now must hide my sorrow
As hid my hope before,
And put it away in the silence
To be spoken of no more;
For since [ know possess not
The love that had been such prize,
Shall | wait till my idol crumbles
To ashes before my eyes?
No, rather farewell forever!
And long may the love-light shine
On the fairer path you have chosen
1t will beam no more on mine.
Better if Death had robbed me,
For then could love you still
Your mem'ry would have nerved me
TO work with stronger will,
Now is my dream but sorrow,
And my heart hath a sense Of shame,
Rememb' ring the empty promise
And the love that was only name
Rememb' ring the flowers of Joy
That brought fruition of pain,
And the happiness held for an hour
held it and lost it again.

To drift on a boundless sea

There will come no fruit for me!
